Home!

Living out of suitcases is a real drag. My loyal Daily Cup readers know I've been traveling for the past week and although seeing new sites and going new places has its moments, there's nothing like being in the comfort of my own home.

So, last evening when I returned, I couldn't have been happier. I kicked off those shoes, dropped that luggage, and did a free fall right onto my bed.

It was truly heavenly. I just wanted to enjoy my resting place.

Home.

For me, spiritually speaking, that's what the presence of God feels like. And if you've ever had a time when you got away from praying, reading His word, seeking His face, and worshiping as often as you should, then you know how wonderful it feels to feel His embrace after being without it for a period of time. There's no place like the resting place we find in our secret place with God. (Psalm 91:1)

He holds us like no one else can. No matter what's going on all around us, His sweet embrace has the power to melt our cares away and gives us a sense of calm like nothing else in this world. I don't know what I would do without His spirit and without the ability to come boldly to His throne of grace. David said, "Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me (Psalm 51:11 KJV)."

I feel the same way.

Wherever I go and whatever I do, there is nothing that can quite compare to my resting place. It's found in God.

And to me, that's home.

As always, thanks for reading and until next time... may you be empowered to prosper!
